Apple used to have maintenance releases. They used to be known for their taste.

They should absolutely cop the criticism. It’s not like they don’t have the resources to make their software better.

iOS 27 was a maintenance release that focused on performance and improved it significantly, particularly on older phones.

They blasted out a marketing video where they bragged about apps launching faster and the WiFi/cellular connection handing off more cleanly.

My feeling is that there’s just always a group of people who complains no matter what.

Apple used to be a company whose public image was intrinsically inseparable from the intergalactic ego of its chief executive. Now it's just your typical slop company run by slop executives looking to maximize next quarter's share price before they exit through the revolving door, on their way to the next company in line to harvest.
